Lake Matheson Motel offers peaceful, newly renovated accommodation with views of Mt Cook, only 400 metres from the main street of Fox Glacier town centre. Each room has electric blankets and new Smart-TV's.

Location was perfect! Short drive to town and walking distance to a popular eatery, Betsey Jane. Room and bathroom were very clean. I personally loved the heated mattress topper. The staff was very helpful in guiding us into things to do and see around Fox Glacier. She also answered our questions about things to do in Franz Josef as we were driving there the next day.

    Fox Glacier is a very small township with a number of motels and the Rainforest was on par with the competition on appearance and location. There is nothing flash about this motel, but it served the purpose as it was clean and cosy.

    This is a decent motel just on the edge of Fox Glacier Town about 6 kms from Lake Matheson on the road to the Glacier Viewpoint and as a result its location suited us fine. It's handy for the town but we were self catering. There's just enough in the kitchenette to do this successfully but there's only 2 of everything. The room was comfortable, the bathroom adequate - what you'd expect in a standard motel though there were some good quality toiletries to make a bit of a difference. Staff were helpful.

    Motel has quite nice localisation, but bit far from the village center and nearest grocery. Free parking. Nice view from window. Room was big, well equipped and clean.

    Being a genius customer our room was upgraded. Unfortunately our neighbour was smoking outside, so the manager upgraded us again! We were in a two bedroom unit with all the facilities we needed. Motel was on the road to Lake Matheson, which was very convenient for our sunrise trip there.
